Description
In the nursing home "Bumps" every day is similar to the previous one. Old people set fire to napkins in the dining room, the manager paints the walls herself, and the benefactor gives coffins instead of medicines. Everything changes when a friend, nicknamed the Joker, comes to one of the guests. He decides to prove to everyone that it's too early to die, but to shake the old days is the very thing. Together with a former theater actress, the trio comes up with an unusual business and quickly comes to success: life in the "Cones" becomes a resort! That's just energetic pensioners have become competitors of local bandits…

Key opinion
Starye Shishki is a divisive Russian comedy that presents a lighthearted, spirited take on life in a nursing home. While some viewers praise its dynamic pace and the charismatic performances of its veteran cast, others find the script underdeveloped and the tonal shifts into crime farce jarring.
| Acting | The veteran ensemble cast, including Guskov, Kortukov, and Valyutskina, provides a strong and charismatic anchor for the film. | |
| Runtime | The film's compact runtime ensures a brisk, nonstop pace that maintains momentum. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative structure and script are perceived differently, with some finding it dynamic and well-constructed, while others criticize it as a disjointed collage of underdeveloped subplots. | |
| Humor | Opinions on the humor are divided between those who find the eccentric, absurd situations witty and those who feel the comedic payoff frequently falls flat. | |
| Direction | The tonal transition from a lighthearted senior drama to a crude criminal farce feels either bold or disjointed, depending on viewer expectations. |
